Abstract
An adhesive arrangement for use in securing a patient interface to the face of a patient includes a substrate material having a first surface that is structured to face the patient and a second surface opposite the first surface. The substrate material includes a number of tabs, each tab projecting outward from a main portion of the substrate material. The adhesive arrangement further includes an adhesive material disposed on the first surface of the substrate material. Each of the tabs is sized and configured to be folded back onto a corresponding portion of the main portion of the substrate material and coupled thereto by the adhesive material.
Claims16
An adhesive arrangement for use in securing a patient interface to the face of a patient, the adhesive arrangement comprising:
- a substrate material having a first surface structured to face the patient and a second surface opposite the first surface, the substrate material having a number of tabs, each tab projecting outward from a main portion of the substrate material;
- and
- an adhesive material disposed on the first surface of the substrate material,
- wherein each of the tabs is sized and configured to be folded back onto a corresponding portion of the main portion of the substrate material and coupled thereto by the adhesive material,
- wherein th number of tabs are each delineated from the main portion by a number of delineations provided on or in the substrate material, and
- wherein the number of delineations comprise one or more of, grooving, scoring, or perforations defined in the substrate material.
A patient interface assembly comprising:
- a patient interface for communicating a flow of a breathing gas to the airway of a patient;
- and
- an adhesive arrangement coupled to the patient interface for securing the patient interface to the face of the patient, the adhesive arrangement comprising:
- a substrate material having a first surface structured to face the patient and a second surface opposite the first surface, the substrate material having a number of tabs (30), each tab projecting outward from a main portion of the substrate material;
- and
- an adhesive material disposed on the first surface of the substrate material,
- wherein each of the tabs is sized and configured to be folded back onto a corresponding portion of the main portion of the substrate material and coupled thereto by the adhesive material,
- wherein the number of tabs are each delineated from the main portion by a number of delineations provided on or in the substrate material, and
- wherein the number of delineations comprise one or more of:
- grooving, scoring, or perforations defined in the substrate material.
An adhesive arrangement for use in securing a patient interface to the face of a patient, the adhesive arrangement comprising:
- a substrate material having a first surface structured to face the patient and a second surface opposite the first surface, the substrate material having a main portion shaped into a plurality of petals, each petal having a number of tabs, each tab projecting outward from the main portion of the substrate material;
- and
- an adhesive material disposed on the first surface of the substrate material, wherein each of the tabs is sized and configured to be folded back onto a corresponding portion of the main portion of the substrate material and coupled thereto by the adhesive material.
